"Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreation"

It's a little racey for me, but I am pretty much in awe of the guts and creativity these women are showing.

Cocks not glocks: Dildos to replace guns at UT-Austin campus carry protest

Jessica Jin, who set up the "Campus (DILDO) Carry" event on Facebook, invokes the argument that allowing more guns on campus will make students safe is a fallacy. She's urging students to send campus leaders that message by strapping on the plastic phalluses.
"'You're carrying a gun to class? Yeah well I'm carrying a HUGE DILDO,'" Jin says in the group's description. "Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreational play."

More than 330 people had signed up to participate by Saturday morning. The "strap in" will occur on Aug. 24, 2016, the first day of next year's fall semester.

Sorry about that. I only looked for it in GD. The gun discussions have been pretty intense, and I was hoping to add some levity. I get why someone would want to divert to the aleady existing thread, though.

Harry, a black guy with a hammerhead shark dreadlock who played guitar for Jesus Christ Superfly.

He worked for one of the head shop chains, maybe Planet K. They got popped for violating Texas's dildo sex laws, and I think Harry got popped for possession of a half dozen dildos with intent to distribute. Oh, and an inflatable sheep. We all thought it was hilarious, but Harry wasn't so amused. I heard he later moved to New York City.
